Key concepts in clinical epidemiology: Estimating pre-test probability

Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 2022
Appropriate medical management largely hinges on correctly diagnosing the underlying disease. Often, clinicians are faced with a dizzying array of accurate, albeit expensive and/or invasive diagnostic tests. What tends to be overlooked is that the probability of a disease once the test results are in (post-test probability) is a function of both the ...

Generating pre‐test probabilities: a neglected area in clinical decision making

Medical Journal of Australia, 2004
To assess the accuracy and variability of clinicians' estimates of pre-test probability for three common clinical scenarios.Postal questionnaire survey conducted between April and October 2001 eliciting pre-test probability estimates from scenarios for risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and stroke.Physicians and general ...

The disproportionate impact of pre-test probability estimation errors: an analysis across different pre-test probability contexts

Diagnosis
Abstract Objectives Diagnostic reasoning in clinical medicine is permeated by uncertainty. This study aims to analyze how errors in the estimation of pre-test probability affect the application of Bayesian inference in diagnostic reasoning.

Excluding pulmonary embolism at the bedside with low pre-test probability and D-dimer: Safety and clinical utility of 4 methods to assign pre-test probability

Thrombosis Research, 2006
Less than 35% of patients suspected of having pulmonary embolism (PE) actually have PE. Safe bedside methods to exclude PE could save scarce health care resources if they exclude large proportions of patients with suspected PE and are widely applicable.

Pre-Test Probability and Genes and Variants of Uncertain Significance in Familial Long QT Syndrome

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2020
The genetics underlying familial long QT syndrome (LQTS) are among the best characterised of all of the inherited heart conditions. Cohort and registry studies have demonstrated important genotype-phenotype correlations that are now essential in guiding clinical practice of patients with the most common three genotypes; KCNQ1 (LQT type 1), KCNH2 (LQT ...

[Pre-test probability of obstructive sleep apnea].

Pneumologia (Bucharest, Romania), 2008
The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a condition characterized by repeated breathing pauses during sleep and associated with sleep fragmentation, intermittent hypoxia and increased, cardiovascular risk. The diagnosis of OSAS requires polysomnography, an expensive and time consuming technique, which still represents the gold-standard method ...
